City Council to vote on Bike Plan next Tuesday 2/21

After years of work and growing momentum, Denton’s Bike Plan is finally going to city council next Tuesday for a vote. I’ll keep this short and say this is the time to show up and support the plan, if you want it to pass. Even if you think it’ll pass, simply showing up and filling out a comment card or speaking will add tremendous weight to the plan. Weight that will help get the ball rolling avoid the first-year delays that Dallas is fighting.

This is a landmark moment in Denton’s history, and your participation and pressure can keep this plan from collecting dust on a shelf. The plan already has $200k funding for the first year, and at least $50k for every year after that. Let’s get this plan approved so we can get to the real work, the paint on the ground.

Congratulations! Lots of us have been watching! You guys, Dallas and Arlington have new bike plans, you and Plano have safe passing and others are working on it. Richardson, Allen, and Plano are adding bicycle trails, and other infrastructure. Plano’s new numbered bike route system (3000 signs) should be complete in the next 2-3 weeks.
